[DOOR OPENS.]
How are we going to tell the boys? [WATER RUNS.]
[DOOR SQUEAKS.]
Were all the bodies found inside the house? Yeah, why? Pine needles in Emily's pyjamas in her feet.
And look at this.
See here? They've all been injected with something.
Any idea what? Toxicology are getting back to us as soon as they can.
Might be time to give the Glasgow boys a call.
Aye.
[ENGINES START.]
MAN: Everything that lives has its time on this planet.
All the animals all the flowers all the people.
Ready? Yeah.
We all have time to do the things we like doing, like laughing, and dancing, and playing with our friends.
Most people get lots and lots of time Why don't you get a seat in there and I'll I'll go and fetch her? and they live to be very old.
But, sometimes people only get a little bit of time.
[HIS VOICE CRACKS.]
Last night something very sad happened.
And I know it's very hard to understand.
Charlotte and Iris and Emily may not be with us any more but they're all together with their mummy now.
Let's take a moment to remember our wonderful friends, shall we? Let's remember them happy and playing together.
And we hope that Dr Kendrick gets better very soon.
[DRIPPING WATER.]
One origin, do you think? The kitchen, by the looks of it.
What sort of timeframe are we looking at? Kate made a call to Carol, her mother-in-law, at 11:23.
Carol couldn't hear anyone on the line, so she hung up.
The first emergency call was 15 minutes later.
This was padlocked? Yeah.
From the outside.
Christ.
- Go on, then.
- Hurry up.
Just one thing to share, okay? Just eat it quietly.
- I've got it.
- All right, Elliot? I'll open it.
Hi.
[CRYING.]
: Oh, Jess Oh Hi, Carol.
How is he? Maybe it would be best if he just went.
Come on.
You don't mean that.
She was on antidepressants? A dose of 10mg.
Ah which you'd just dropped? Down from 20, yes.
She had a hard time after Charlotte was born.
The birth was traumatic, but she was feeling much better in herself, so Was it depression? Or anxiety? A combination.
She was feeling much better in herself.
- You not enjoying the film? - It's for babies.
- Why don't you go upstairs and watch - No.
- Play with your computer, then.
- What's the point? - It's not even interesting.
- Go play upstairs with your computer.
Are you hungry? Go get a wee bit of chocolate.
Elliot asked if he was gonna die too.
You didn't tell me that.
Yes, I did.
What did you say? Oh, I don't know, just some crap about how, - you know, we'd always keep him safe.
- When? - When did you tell me that? - This morning.
It just felt kind of, like, hollow, you know? Like, "Your friends are dead, there's a psycho out there, "but, hey, everything's gonna be fine.
" There's not a psycho out there.
Four people have been murdered, Simon.
- I think we can be pretty sure.
- No, what I'm saying is - It must be a stranger.
- Let's not speculate.
They were asking about Kate's medical history.
Mark.
Well, it's not a massive secret, is it? After Charlotte, you mean? It was hard for her, wasn't it? Poor thing.
It happens, believe me.
It's hormones.
It has to be random.
- It's not random.
- Simon.
It's not fucking random.
It's not a stranger - Okay.
You're drunk.
- It's Tom.
Jesus.
Simon I'll just go and check on the kids.
[HE VOMITS.]
[HE SOBS.]
And you're sure it's all right for Molly to stay? Yeah.
God, yeah.
I'll just drop her back tomorrow.
